Abstract:
The present invention provides a process of screening patients for atopic dermatitis. The process includes the step of determining, in sera of the patient, the presence of antibodies against nuclear antigens such as transcription co-activator p75, wherein the presence of such antibodies indicates atopic dermatitis. The screening process can be used to detect atopic dermatitis in patients suffering from other conditions such as asthma or interstitial cystitis.
